“It was an awesome day,” Lane said. “I didn’t get a lot of bites today, but I was able to stay focused and caught as many as I could. My biggest surprise came yesterday when I caught a 6- and 7-pounder on back-to-back casts.”

Lane fished shallow grassy water, no deeper than 3-feet. He was using a Gambler Ugly Otter and Cane Toad for baits to catch the majority of his fish this tournament.
